Campsites for hikers in Galloway Forest Park

·

Set up your tent in Galloway Forest Park and hit the trails—this area is a magnet for hikers who want more than just a view from the car park. With 14 campsites that cater to walkers, you’ll find pitches tucked beneath thick forest, beside lochs, or just steps from winding paths. Prices start at £65 a night, with an average stay running around £137. Top picks include Runach Arainn Glamping (2 reviews) and Garrison Shepherd's Huts (1 review). Hot showers, pet-friendly spots, and campfires are standard. After a day of hiking, you can fish, swim, or try a spot of climbing before turning in. If you’re after proper dark skies, this park delivers—bring a torch and look up after sunset.

The boiler also supplies constant hot water. Sorry we do not allow pets. Strictly no smoking or vaping is allowed in the caravan. The caravan can sleep up to 6 persons. Bedroom #1 - with standard size double bed (new mattress for 2025) with fitted wardrobes and cupboards. Bedroom #2 - with two single beds with cupboard space. The lounge sofa has a fold out double bed (new mattress for 2025). All bedding is provided. Lounge / Dining Room - the lounge has large windows and access to the veranda. The room also has fitted cupboards. The dining area has a circular table with 4 chairs. Kitchen - fully fitted with a gas cooker, microwave, fridge, kettle, toaster, pots and pans. Cooking utensils, a 6 piece dinner service and cutlery are also provided. Tea, coffee and sugar are supplied at the start of the holiday, but will not be replenished. Bathroom - with shower, toilet and washbasin. We do not supply towels. Additional - Outside table and 4 chairs. Also Fire and CO Alarms, Thermometer, Wall clock and Tide clock. An information pack of places to visit and eat is provided. The caravan is on the family run Monreith Sands Holiday Park with a great location on the beautiful Galloway coast. Sandy beaches are only a few 100m away. The generally calm waters of Luce Bay are great for swimming or kayaking. Nearby is a golf course plus historic sites and formal gardens. Although the Galloway Forest is know for being a Dark Sky Park and great for stargazing, the whole Machars peninsular is very dark. The Galloway Astronomy Centre (01988 500594) gives stargazing tours.
